Back and Better Than Ever!

Hey! Elizabeth Edwards is going to be in my neighborhood talking about Health Care!

And Bob Herbert has a nice column on the health care plan of John McCain which is not so much a health care plan but a health care crisis in the making:

These are changes that will set in motion nothing less than the dismantling of the employer-based coverage that protects most American families.

A study coming out Tuesday from scholars at Columbia, Harvard, Purdue and Michigan projects that 20 million Americans who have employment-based health insurance would lose it under the McCain plan.

There is nothing secret about Senator McCain’s far-reaching proposals, but they haven’t gotten much attention because the chatter in this campaign has mostly been about nonsense — lipstick, celebrities and “Drill, baby, drill!”
